Sims 3 Launcher "There are no packages to install"

I'm having the same issue too and yes I switched to the EA app.  Hope they fix this cause I wanna put stuff into my sims 3 game as well as a world too.  

Same here, except I started Sims 3 on the Ea Play, and it was working, suddenly now tho it won't install. nor will it install stuff from the exchange

I've also recently switched to EA launcher and I'm suspecting that the EA platform is the problem here. Everything was working perfectly fine before I switched to EA from Origin.

Yes me too! I just switched to the EA App and now my launcher is broken! Also on Windows 11.

I am having this exact same problem, I'm amazed there are no other entries / google results for this problem, I'm in a sims 3 group with 5,000+ members and 100 people have said they've got this same problem in the last month. The common things seem to be: we're all either on Windows 11, recently switched to the new EA Games Launcher, or in my case- both. (It was working fine when I was still using Origin last month). I can also no longer uninstall content through the launcher either. ☹️

I've tried both double-clicking and putting them in the downloads file. Here are the screenshots.

In this case this has anything to do with the issue, I am on windows 11.

Thank you again for trying to help me!

@night0ceans  When you download the custom content, are you double-clicking on the files?  If so, try placing them in the correct folder: Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Downloads.  And make sure they have the extension .Sims3Pack, not anything else.

If this doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the files, as in, I want to see a list of the files themselves.  Include the address bar, above the list of files and folders, in the screenshot.

@roberta591  This player is trying to install .Sims3Packs through the launcher, not .package files.  So the Mods folder is irrelevant.
